Instead of a 30* backcut on the valve(normal with a 45 seat), with a 25 seat, cut back 15-20* instead, basically anything to break the edge.
This works on sbf, not sure of the chamber clearance on a BBC or Pontiac/Buick etc.
HP Hunter, is this the type of answer you're looking for?

pfordamx, low lift is always good as the valve goes past it twice and more time is spent at that point then at the peak which most seem to focus on. I've never heard of (better or more) low lift not being a good thing, ever, but I'm willing to listen/learn from others...with validation and testing of course.
This is something I can sink my teeth in.........I will give it a try on my test head..........thanks.

But at the same time you have to consider where the piston is..................
